    How could i have forgotten Burke Shelley. Darn it he was/is good.
  6. dmccombe7
    Forgot Glenn Hughes and Richard Sinclair
  7. dmccombe7
    For me its the obvious Geddy Lee, Jack Bruce, Phil Lynott, John Wetton and even the occasional Gene Simmons altho not really the lead singer he did lead vocals on some songs.

    where's that ? nearest city would give me a rough idea. I'm just kidding. its in Wales isnt it Sorry couldn't resist that one. Its really not that far from me off the A69. I always wondered what that large town was till i googled it earlier. Travelled that road so many times. Cheers and thanks again Dave

    Appreciated @walshy where is Hexham ? Is that South of the border. Problem is trying to get one altho there were 2 sold on here in past few months by looks of it. Dave

    I saw his review on the amps and was very impressed plus not overly expensive either. Maybe i should look at them. Dave

    You said WB100 is that the Mesa head or is that the Handbox head ?
  12. dmccombe7
    You have a WD100 ? What's it like. They are still pretty rare beasts over here Dave

    I could play prop forward for Scotland and it still won't help the doomed.

    Oddly enough i can't get to grips with the AG500 in rehearsal studios. Can't fault it really but i'm always tweaking it. The studio also use EBS HD360 or 370 amps which i'm really enjoying. All thru Ampeg 810 cabs. I generally start with everything flat and adjust as required. I have the Reidmar 750 which is unbelievably loud for a class D and probably the only Class D i've liked. Its a back up amp for my Mesa. Dave

    I had the MB 121 Combo with ext cab and it was loud enough for a 70's covers band. I def wouldn't say it wasn't loud enough but i always had the feeling that it lacked something. That something would be "heft" Dave

    I had the old Mk4 Peavey head in 80's and wish i'd kept it. 2 channels with graphic EQ section. Loved the sound i was getting thru a custom 15" & 12" cab later thru a 15" cab and 210 on top. However the old GAS got the better of me. Like many others i've tried the lightweight gear and gone back to my Mesa Mpulse and PH212 cab. I love the tone. Dave

    Was at the Barrowland gig for them. When Plant came on i went into Lounge area which was empty and had a great blether with Francis Dunnery who came over to us to see why we weren't in watching Plant. I was happy to say i was only there for It Bites. Francis is an absolute gem of a guy and very down to earth. Would love to book him for a house party but not sure my house could take 50 people.

    I've only got space for your books Dave so get a move on mate before i put something else in there.

    Big Country supporting David Bowie on Glass Spider tour at Sunderland 87 Was never a big fan of them until i saw them. Amazing energetic band that stole the day for me. Huge surprise. Dave
  20. dmccombe7
    Most Surprising is one i had forgotten when i did my original post Big Country supporting Bowie at Sunderland mid 87. Had never really listened to them much but they had so much energy and for me stole the show and i was a Bowie fan. Dave

    Groundhogs were a great wee band. Oddly enough i played the Burns bar in 85/86 with Gypsies Kiss. Was my 1st gig with them after learning their set in 2 weeks. I was asked to stay with them and had a great few yrs with them Dave
  22. dmccombe7
    Haven't seen you guys live so can't comment. Plus Joe the bassist from Ultimate Bowie did me a crackin Bowie painting.

    Happy days long since gone. When ticket prices were £1 to £1.50 Glasgow Apollo was the place for us. Saw Thin Lizzy, UFO, Rush, Genesis, Steve Hacket, Peter Gabriel, Uriah Heep, The Firm, Yes, Camel, Steve Hillage, Whitesnake, Magnum, Alice Cooper, Nazareth, Ozzy, MSG, Dio, and many i've forgotten. Some gigs i only went to see the supports like It Bites supporting Robert Plant. Wasn't a big fan of Robert Plant at that time but It Bites were a brilliant band that unfortunately should have done better. Dave

    Yep mid to late 70's into early 80's was my fav era too. I remember going to see bands at Glasgow Apollo almost every weekend and many times mid week. I always thought John Sloman was the perfect Rock singer, voice, looks and proper stage presence of the classic rock singers. He had it all. I met him when he played with Uriah Heep and he was an absolute gent and so down to earth. One of my fav memories from that era to be honest. Dave

    @hiram.k.hackenbacker trying to keep it to concerts rather than local pub bands. Some of the tribute bands i've seen i would class as concerts too altho i didn't include them. Happy to include any concert size gigs tho Dave
